In a group chat<\/a>, private chat, members chat, and moderated chat, one may need a way to format text messages for clarity and highlight a special part of the conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formatting your messages is a simple way to add or emphasize text. You can mark your text in 4 special ways. These are the following: bold, italic, strikethrough, and code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formatting text messages can be done in a group chat as well as in a one-on-one online private room<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bold<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make your text bold, simply put an asterisk in between the text you need to highlight (*). Here’s an example.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what it would look like when you send the message.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"format<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Italic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make your text italic, put an underscore before and after the text (_).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s how it would look like when sent.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"format<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strikethrough<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Strikethrough means that your text will have a line all throughout. You need to put a tilde in between the text (~) to put a strikethrough.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"format<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is what a strikethrough text looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inline code<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To put an inline code, you need to use a grave symbol or a backtick symbol ( ` ) surrounding your text.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s what it would look like when you do that.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"format<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
